WiFi is a wonderful thing. You can take your laptop anywhere in your house and access the Internet, or access your network from the garden. However, it does introduce the grim possibility of somebody else doing exactly the same, without you ever knowing. This guide seeks to make you aware of various security terms and ideas associated with wireless networking and what you should consider when setting up a wireless network.

As a growing number of homes contain more than one computer, their users must find ways to network them. The primary purpose for creating a home network tends to be to provide Internet access to all computers within the house. There are other good reasons, however. These include enabling LAN gaming, data backups from one machine to another and the sharing of music within the home.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 4CharactersLong Excellent under windows
simple to setup, however it needs a driver (supplied on a mini CD).
paired up with my TP-Link wireless extender immediately.
However couldn't find any driver for Linux, which somewhat restricts my choices, and makes it unusable for pretty much any NAS.
(wouldn't run a NAS over WiFi permanently but for a while it would have been very useful)
